You said yes. Now comes the part where everyone has an opinion, the to-do list grows overnight, and the wedding you've been dreaming about starts to feel like a project you're managing. It doesn't have to be that way.

Our Full-Service Wedding Planning package is designed for couples who want expert guidance from engagement to “I do.” We handle every detail, including budget management, vendor selection, timeline creation, design coordination, logistics, and event execution, ensuring a seamless and stress-free planning experience.
A Full-Service Planning Experience From Start to Finish
Here's what working with Prime Time from day one actually looks like. Every couple is different, so this process flexes to fit your needs, your schedule, and your ideas.
01.
Initial Consultation For Wedding Planning
We start by getting to know you. Your priorities, your personalities, your non-negotiables. This isn't an intake form. It's a conversation.
02.
Budget Planning With Clear Expectations
Before any vendor is booked or deposit is paid, we build a realistic budget together. You'll always know where your money is going and why.
03.
Vendor Research and Recommendations
We start by getting to know you. Your priorities, your personalities, your non-negotiables. This isn't an intake form. It's a conversation.
04.
Design And Detail Planning For Events
From the big picture down to the small touches that make your event feel personal, we help shape every element of the experience.
05.
Timeline Development For Smooth Celebrations
A detailed, day-of timeline keeps every vendor, family member, and wedding party member on the same page. Nothing is left to chance.
06.
Ongoing Communication From Start To Finish
You'll never wonder where things stand. We check in regularly, answer questions quickly, and keep everything moving so nothing falls through the cracks.
07.
Final Walkthrough and Confirmation
In the weeks leading up to your wedding, we confirm every vendor, review every detail, and make sure the day is set up for success before it even starts.
08.
Day-Of Execution For Seamless Celebrations
This is where everything comes together. We're on-site, managing vendors, handling the timeline, solving problems before you ever know they exist, and making sure you can be fully present all day long.

How Is Our Full-Service Wedding Planning Package Different?
Full-service planning isn't just more hours. It's a fundamentally different experience. Most coordinators come in at the end, learn your wedding from a document, and do their best with what they've been handed. With Prime Time Event Planning and Concierge, we've been part of the process from the beginning.
That means by the time your wedding day arrives, we've already:
- Built real relationships with every vendor on your list
- Learned your preferences, priorities, and non-negotiables
- Anticipated the moments that need extra attention
- Positioned ourselves to solve problems before you ever know they existed
That depth of knowledge shows up on your wedding day in ways you can feel but might not be able to name. Things run smoothly not because nothing went wrong, but because someone who knew your event inside and out was already ahead of it.

What does full-service wedding planning actually include?
Full-service planning covers everything from your initial consultation through the end of your reception. That includes budget planning, vendor sourcing and management, design support, timeline development, rehearsal coordination, and complete day-of execution.
How far in advance should I book?
The earlier the better, especially for peak wedding season dates. Many couples book 12 to 18 months in advance to secure their preferred vendors and give the planning process plenty of breathing room.
Do I still get to make all the decisions?
Absolutely. Full-service planning means we handle the research, logistics, and coordination. Every final decision is yours. We just make sure you have the information and support you need to make them confidently.
Can Prime Time work with vendors I've already booked?
Yes. If you've already secured some vendors before coming to us, we'll work with them just as we would with anyone in our own network.
Does Prime Time handle destination or out-of-area weddings?
Prime Time primarily serves the Chicago suburbs, South Suburbs, Northwest Indiana, and surrounding Illinois areas, but reach out to discuss your specific location, and we'll let you know how we can help.
